Embexzles 100000.
BosToN. Feb. 9-John e. Leighton. for
nineteen years clerk of the municipal GRIM
inal court in this city, is short in his ac-
counts to large amount. The exact sum
of the defalcation can not be known until
the expert now engaged on the books COM
pletes his work. 1t is stated, however, by
City Auditor Dodge, that the total will be
perhaps 100000 or more. Leighton was
appointed in 1861, and held Office up to with
in short time ago. In the court in which
he served thousands of criminal cases were
tried annually, and money received for
fines and costs was all turned over
to the clerk, who is supposed to deposit it
with the city treasurer Of Boston, who is
also county treasurer. 1t is said the pres
ent auditors predecessors have not audited
the accounts of this court for years; as i'm
plicit confidence seems to have been placed
in Clerk Leighton. For many years he has
been known only as an bonored and re-
spected citizen and the blow will be So
we're one. What he did with all the money
he has taken is a mystery to his friends.
His habits of life were not extravagant and
he had no family.

wild beasts wrath, died the other night
in the Medico-Chirurgical Hospital,
Philadelphia, indirectly from a self
inflicted wound by negro's teeth. A
few weeks ago Karl, while in charge
of one of the tigers belonging to Fore
paugh's menagerie, became involved
in a quarrel with a colored man, and
struck him in the face. The negro's
front teeth made a deep wound in the
second joint of Karl's index finger. In
flammation set in and the wounded
man entered the hospital for treat
ment. The doctors determined to per-
form surgical operation and it was
thought necessary TO put him under
the influence of chloroform, from the
effects of which he rapidly sank and
died.

SOME experiments are being made
with the big Baldwin locomotives on
the Boston & Albany road. These To-
comotives are the largest and said to be
the most powerful ever built. They
weigh $4,000 pounds each and use
about four tons of coal per day. The
annual cost of fuel for each of these
machines is about $5,40O, while the
help for each freight train is only
$500. The road is now using the I'm
derhill locomotives, and the Baldwins
are expected to draw so per cent. more
ears than the locomotives now in use.
The Baldwins are not required to draw
ears on less coal than the Underhills,
but merely to equal them.
